If you’ve never worked the bean stitch before (and even if you have), you’re going to have a fun time with this Bean Stitch Crochet Blanket Pattern.
You can find the free pattern below, or you can purchase the ad-free printable PDF from my shop.
The bean stitch creates a beautiful texture that makes even a simple blanket look a little more interesting. It’s also a fun stitch to learn if you’re looking to try something different.
The stitch might take a little practice at first, but once you get the hang of it, it’s easy to find your rhythm. I think you’ll really enjoy watching this blanket come together, especially as the textured rows start to take shape.
